Class does not implement the 'NSStreamDelegate' protocol

Got this warning after upgrading to Xcode 3.2.3. To fix it add NSStreamDelegate into your class interface:
@interface MyClass: NSObject {}
@interface MyClass: NSObject <NSStreamDelegate> {}
NSStreamDelegate is defined for Cocoa, but not Cocoa Touch. iPhone stream:handleEvent: is an informal delegate method.

On Mac OS X 10.6 SDK (used by iPhone OS 4) delegate methods are generally defined in formal protocols rather than informal protocols as before, which means you have to declare the protocol conformance in the class interface of the delegate. More info at Mac OS X SDK release notes.

  1. Thanks! After upgrading to Xcode 4.1, I received all those pesky warnings. Now they're all gone! Thanks again. Greetings from the Philippines

  2. Life Saver.... I could not understand, why the code that was written for OS4.0, did not work on 3.2
